Okay, well that's interesting. How do you feel about the long-term stability of the tax field, with tax-software becoming more sophisticated? I realize virtually no industry is safe from automation, but it seems like tax is under particular threat. What other options are there for individual CPA's? What skills can be developed and how to go about developing them?
This thread is sort of making me want to crack open that CPA book.
Tax work in particular is not under much threat because of how Tax Reform has created an entire cluster-fuck where even the most sophisticated tax software has no idea how to handle all of the changes. So to me there's not much to worry about there. As for other areas, scroll the forum because there's a number of good threads that can answer your questions. Here is an excellent start.
